Had a scheduled phone conversation with the Employment Agency. The lady said something I couldn't quite understand about my driver's licence. Turned out that she meant this:
"Since you haven't found work as a university professor or a project director in contract archaeology, you might want to apply for jobs where having a driver's licence is the main sought-after qualification."
In effect, she told me to become a delivery driver. 🙄
